The Great Age of Fishes.

Many statements have been made as to ihe great age that fish may attain. Some persons think that there are carp at Fontalne- blean that date back to the time of Francis l., but the majority is skeptical in regard to this, and for good reasons. Professor Spencer F. Baird thinks that we may allow an age of POO years for certain carp. There is nothing, says he, to pre- vent fish from living almost indet, initely, since they have no period of maturity, and grow every year of their life. In Washington there are goldfish that have belonged to the same family for years, and they appear to be scarcely any larger than they were when purchased. In the royal aquaria at St. Peter. burg, there are fish that are really l40 years old. Some of these are fully five times larger than tlIey were when introduced, while oth- CTS have gained but fraction of an inch in length. It appears that in China there are sacred fish of still greater age.--Scientiic Amer. ican.

Taxed Farmers.

The farIner is well taxed tn keep up d tariff to make fortunes for manufacturers. This is very good natured though not very smart on the part of the farmer, and Farmer Isaac Griscnm, of WoOdbury, N. J ., has discovered the fact, and in a small publication, has cOmmuni- cated his disco, cries to his broth CT farmers. He shows how tie tax.fed people set up in carriages and country houses, while the farm CT must drive to market as he can. He sees that foreign markets fix the price of wheat and corn for the farmer, while the manufacturer is shielded from such a process by locking the farmer out and escap- ing the competition to which the farmer is exposed by aid of money taken from the farmer s own pock- ct. The farmers wheat goes to Europe, aud there must stand the competition of 'pauper labor" as best it can, having to buy in dear market at home and sell in cheap market abroad. Not SO with the tariff swallower; he makes his goods and the tariff protects him from the foreign competition to which the farmer is exposed, and the farmer is taxed for the securi. ty hls city friend enjoys. The blow and every implement on his farm, the coat on his back, the rails over which his crop passes to market. all pay tax to the outrage Ous tariff. This the farmer must pay that the protected and monop, ollst may get rich while the farmer wonders at every years end how he Is to make things meet another year. The farmers pay tax and the tax.eater gets rich while the farm CT struggles to pay his way. This is how things are done, and Farm CT Griscom has got tired of it, and tells hls brother farmers so, and it is time other farmers followed the example When does the taX-pay- ing farmer get rich? But look at the tax.catiug minor aud manuiac- turer and see where they are. Do farmers like to pay and suffer- Memphis Appeal.

 The duties of his station kept my grandfather long time abroad, and when he was in Boston about two years aftcrward, and having a few days of leisure, he was think ing about acting upon the hint of the enigmalical paper. when his eye happened to fall on the follow ing paragraph in an "ld Boston Messenger:
 Wonderful Discovery As John Rogers was breaking piece of pasture ground on the east shore of Nantucket about a month ago his plowsl'are turned up a stout thorn bush, sticking to the roots of which Mir. Rogers spied several Spanish dollars. Upon this he went to digging Justify, and did not give up until he had hauled out coins, chiefly Spanish doubloons, of more than S23,O00 value. No doubt it was buried hy Captain Kidd or some of his pirate kin.
 "No doubt," thought my grand father, as he put down the paper with d slight nervousness. In a week he was again facing the storm of the ocean. enriching his employ CTS by his skill aud toil, till inflrm- atives drove him high and dry on the shore. There in due time he died of old age, leaving little Co his family except the pirates cut lass. which three generations of boys have used in their juvinile trainings" and which. rusted and blunied, may now be seen in the office of his greatgran,lson, a prom inent lawyer of New York.

THE DARKEST HOUR.

For period of four years 1 have been Il victim of very severe and agonzing case of Salt Rheum. which affected my hands to such an extent that they almost became a burden.
 My hand became raw al horrifying. com. polling me to keep it covered all the time.
 Eye spent hundreds of dollars for various preparations. but instead of bcnefi.ting my condition, they all seemed to stimulate and encourage the rogress of the miserable dis ease. until l had about given up all hope.
 But thank heaven. "the darkest hour is just before day" and Hn reioiced to know that positive cure has been found which Is known as B. B. B.-Botanic Blood Balm.
 My family all rejoice nt its magical cur,- tive powers in giving me relief. My hand has been cured and resembles n burnt sur face after being healed over, more than any thing else. It has also cured my two child ren of loathesome form of itch which had resisted all previous treatment. l refer to any business house in Moody and to Thos.

For two years have becr confined to bed with a loathesome form of Blood Poison, which had about eaten me up, and l and others had no hope of recovery. For awhile l could neither walk. sit down, nor lie down, only in misery as my flesh seemed to be falling of my bones in pieces as big as hen egg. My appetite was lost, my bones ached and pained me. and friends even summed me. l used various blood purify CTS without benefit, and several physicians treated me until large sums of money had been expended, but not one particle of goo did any one give me.
 On the 9th of February. lsS6, Mr. F. R. Jackson called to sec if l was no. dead. as it was thought could not endure my suffering much longer He concluded 10 try a bottle pf 5 F.

Town Of Dromore,

The name OF Dyomore is derived from
Irish words sgnifying the great ridge
or s'tIe great back Of hill" Histori
cally Dromore is one Of the most inter
esting towns in Ireland. l'he See OF
Dr0more was founded about the yeal
500 by St. Colman, who established a
monastery or abbey there, and presided
over it III the joint capacity OF bishop
and abbot. This abbey had acquired
extensive possessions early in the tenth
century and was frequently pllinlaered
DY the Danes. Iii the fourteenth cen
tury Dromoce was the place Of exile OF
two English i1dges-Sir John Holt and
Sir Edward Be|knap, who, for deliver
ing their opinion that King Richard
IL, was above the laws, were found
guilty of high treason and condemned
TO die, but. at the intercession OF che
clergy and some temporal lords. Their
sentences were changed to punishment
TO the village of Dlolnora, aud they
were confined not to 80 out OF the town
above the space Of two miles OH the

Suggest tious for Boys Who Have Decided
fo va -Co

Suggestions for Boys Who Have Decided
to BE Nayigators.
Having decided to be navigator, if
boy has nothing else, let him at least
start with the consent and blessing Of
his parents OF guardians and then go
to work with the determin alton Of be-
coming nothing else than the captain
of ship.
At til outset, it would be q good
idea for a. boy to go on one Of the
United States training ships, where
young Americans are trained to be
seamen. He must be between fourteen
and eighteen years OF age, and will
not be entitled to his discharge
until he has gone through
the whole course of in
struction. Ii our would-be seafarer
pursues this course, he will find it to
his advantage should he start life on a
European steamer, Sill, he would be
possessed Of a great deal of knowledge
in reference TO naval warfare which,
in that position, would be Of no use to
him, and there would be very much
that he would have to learn, in addi-
ton to what he already knew.
Starting as an ordinary seaman, be
would skip the drudgery OF a ship
boy, and lis promotion would be some
what more rapid, though not remarka-
. bly, so, for on the sea you have to be
thoroughly competent in one position
before you can rise to higher.
